Obecnie zarządzam wszystkimi placówkami Tequesta, wspieram wychowawców, dyrektorów, rodziców, dzielę się swoim doświadczeniem i pasją. Kocham pracę z dziećmi i z ludźmi. Uwielbiam patrzeć jak nasi wychowankowie dorastają i nabywają nowe umiejętności, jak uczą się nowych języków, kontaktów i życia.

Cechuje mnie radość życia :) Mam bardzo wszechstonne zainteresowania i pasje:)

Interesuję się astronomią, medycyną, psychologią oraz fotografią.

“Babies are born with wings. Teachers help them unwind them”
- Janusz Korczak

Being a mum opened my eyes to what matters most in life. My son, who completed TEQUSTA Mokotów, inspired me to change my career path and devote myself to working with children. I completed postgraduate studies in the fields of: special pedagogy, sensory integration therapy and preschool and early school pedagogy. At our establishment in Białołęka, we implement our academic know-how in the field of SI therapy.

Working with children gives me some tremendous satisfaction. Every day, I see children get to know new things, learn new experiences and build on their skills. Children are most important in our establishment and with this thing in mind we build our community.

My personal experience has shown me how important in working with children is the right approach, know-how and experienced staff. Every child is a small man or woman and deserves respect for his or her feelings and own opinion. In my life, I am guided by the saying that there are no naughty children. Children can be hungry, tired, thirsty, cold or overstimulated. My first trip to Tequesta was in 2008. It’s a really very quiet town in Florida (USA), characterized by virtually zero crime rate. My role is to ensure that our kids may enjoy the climate of this place every day.

RUBY MATUSZEWSKI-English Native Teacher

My name is Ruby and I am from the Philippines. I love teaching kids in kindergarten. I love my family and my children, in particular. In my free time, I love reading books, going to the beach and all sorts of trips.
I graduated in the Philippines with a bachelor's degree in management. In 2022 I also completed English Studies in Warsaw.
I have been a teacher in TEQUESTA since 2014 — first in the establishment in Mokotów, now in Białołęka.
My passion for teaching children was born the moment my first child was born. Watching my son grow, I finally asked myself — why not develop my passion for teaching children?

Recently, I spent a lot of time planning new fascinating ways to play and learn together. Dear children, I look forward to spending time together with you and watching you grow!

Kaja Szymczak -Polish Language Teacher

I have been teaching kids for 8 years. I had the pleasure of working with kids in the 1 to 6 age group. I started my work with children as a caregiver in a daycare center, then as a teacher in a preschool.
I completed my pedagogical studies in the field of early school and pre-school education and I obtained a master's degree in education management. In my everyday activities, I focus on the strengths and abilities of each child. Working in preschool gives me a lot of joy and satisfaction.
I believe that each child is unique, so each of them must be approached individually. I have plenty of patience and love for children. I strive to develop curiosity in children about the world through play.

MARLENA BRUZDA - Polish language Teacher

“A good educator, who does not push but triggers, does not pull but brings up, does not press but shapes, does not dictate but teaches, does not demand but asks — will come to live many inspired moments with children.”

- Janusz Korczak

I completed master’s course in Pedagogy at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. I connect with children easily. I am characterized by caring attitude and thoughtfulness. I am an empathetic person, willing to help and well-organized.
I engage in working with children, with co-workers and in dealing with parents. Whatever the situation, I accept every child for who they are. Working with children gives me a lot of joy and satisfaction, and being a good educator is a challenge for me, because every child is different and requires an individual approach.
Smiles, hugs and nice words heard from children are the best reward and inspiration for my work.

It is also important for me that children in a warm and friendly atmosphere may stimulate their curiosity and develop their full potential. Working with children gives me great satisfaction, pride and joy as they succeed.
I have a lot of patience, I am sensitive and responsible person. I am empathetic and self-possessed. I know the needs of the little ones perfectly, because I'm a mum myself.

Julia Grochowina

I am a fifth-year psychology student at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. Working with children in a preschool is not only a challenge but also a great pleasure and a source of valuable experiences. Thanks to my knowledge of psychology and empathy, I approach each child individually, adapting my methods to their unique needs and abilities. I envision my future in psychotherapy, so every interaction with children teaches me how to better understand their emotions and behaviors. Working in a preschool allows me to support children in their development, which is extremely satisfying and inspiring for me. I strive to ensure that every child feels safe and accepted, and develops their talents and skills in an atmosphere of understanding and support. I believe that building strong, trusting relationships with children is key to their emotional and social development.

Zuzanna Piórkowska polish Language Teacher

ood day, I am a graduate of pedagogy at the University of Warsaw. I have 15 years of experience working with children. During these years, I have worked with children aged 2-9, working as a teacher in a kindergarten, conducting classes in a counseling center or cultural centers. For four years, I have also been a Social Skills Trainer. It was these classes that convinced me to take up studies in psychology and I connect my future with this field. At work, it is very important for me to give children a sense of security and build their self-esteem. I put a lot of emphasis on emotional education and selecting methods so that transferring knowledge is fun and not learning.

Katarzyna Bartoszek teacher assistant

I am a fifth-year psychology student at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. During my studies, I have gained knowledge in various fields of psychology, but I am most fascinated by working with children. I see my future in helping children overcome difficulties and supporting their proper emotional, social, and cognitive development. My interest in child psychology comes from the belief that every child deserves a chance at a happy and healthy life. I believe that the key to effective assistance is a deep understanding of each child's individual needs and specific challenges. For the past three years, I have had the opportunity to participate in internships and placements where I have worked with children facing various developmental and emotional difficulties. These experiences have convinced me that working with children is my calling. Working with children brings me immense joy, and every success, no matter how small, fills me with pride.
